Genuine Kawasaki Throttle Assembly
The Kawasaki 16163-1280 Throttle Assembly is an important component within the engine's intake and throttle-control system.
The throttle assembly regulates the amount of air entering the engine according to operating demand. Proper throttle operation is important for engine response, speed control, and overall performance.
A worn, damaged, contaminated, or malfunctioning throttle assembly may contribute to symptoms such as:
-
Poor throttle response
-
Unstable engine speed
-
Difficult starting
-
Rough operation
-
Loss of power
-
Irregular engine performance
-
Failure to respond properly to throttle input
Replacing a failed assembly with the correct genuine Kawasaki component helps restore the engine's original throttle-system configuration.
Designed for Select Kawasaki FT730V Engines
The 16163-1280 Throttle Assembly is used as the current replacement for throttle assemblies found on select Kawasaki FT730V engine configurations.
Known applications of the superseded assemblies include select specifications such as:
-
FT730V-AS42
-
FT730V-AS43
-
FT730V-BS02
-
FT730V-AR30
-
FT730V-AR32
-
FT730V-BS45
-
FT730V-BS46
-

Kawasaki engine parts can vary significantly by engine specification number, even when the main engine model is the same.
Always verify the complete engine model and specification number before ordering.
Replaces Previous Kawasaki Part Numbers
The Kawasaki 16163-1280 supersedes or cross-references previous throttle assemblies including:
-
16163-0912
-
16163-0964
-
16163-1179
-
16163-1220
If your original Kawasaki parts diagram calls for one of these numbers, 16163-1280 may be the current genuine Kawasaki replacement.
Always verify the complete engine specification before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Ideal for Engine & Throttle-System Maintenance
The 16163-1280 throttle assembly is a practical replacement when the original component has become:
-
Worn
-
Damaged
-
Contaminated
-
Malfunctioning
-
Physically broken
-
Unable to regulate airflow properly
-
Causing inconsistent throttle response
-
Damaged during engine or fuel-system service
Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing a throttle assembly because similar engine-performance symptoms can also be caused by fuel, ignition, sensor, wiring, or other engine-system problems.
Installation & Maintenance
Before replacing the throttle assembly:
-
Park the equipment on a flat and stable surface.
-
Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
-
Allow the engine to cool completely.
-
Disconnect the battery before servicing electrical or fuel-system components.
-
Clean the area surrounding the existing throttle assembly.
-
Disconnect the required wiring, fuel, and linkage connections according to Kawasaki procedures.
-
Remove the existing throttle assembly.
-
Inspect associated gaskets, seals, wiring, connectors, and intake components.
-
Install the Kawasaki 16163-1280 Throttle Assembly in the correct position.
-
Reconnect all electrical and fuel-system connections securely.
-
Reassemble any removed intake or air-cleaner components.
-
Verify proper engine operation before returning the equipment to service.
Always follow the applicable Kawasaki service manual and safety procedures when servicing throttle, fuel-injection, intake, or electronic engine-control components.
